The 6-foot, 169-pound senior rushed for 556 yards, caught 543 yards and totaled 15 touchdowns for the Mustangs this season, helping the team to a 6-4 record. Spradling said he’s most likely going to be a slot receiver in college.

“I went out there for the camp this summer and I really enjoyed it,” he said. “The weather, the coaches, I loved it.”

Spradling also received offers from Lafayette, Northern Colorado and San Diego. He said he was waiting to hear about an offer from Colorado or Colorado State, but neither came.

“I’m solid with SDSU, they liked me from the beginning,” he said.

Overland and Cherokee Trail played a marathon of game Friday night. Led by De’Ron Davis’ 46 points and 21 rebounds, Overland emerged victorious after five overtimes, winning 111-107 against the host team.

The five overtimes were the third most all-time and most for a game between two big schools, according to CHSAA records.

“We were on the bench just laughing,” Cherokee Trail coach Morgan Gregory said. “How long was this going to go?”

The combined 218 points are third all-time. Cherokee Trail’s 107 points ties a state record for most points in a losing effort.

They may be talking about this one for years.

Overland’s De’Ron Davis was simply dominant and the Trailblazers needed every last bit of it to hold off Cherokee Trail on Friday night. The 6-foot-9 sophomore scored 46 points and grabbed 21 rebounds to lead Overland to a wild 111-107 victory over Cherokee Trail in a Class 5A Centennial League game that went to five overtimes.

Cherokee Trail’s 107 points tied the all-time state record for most points in a losing effort with Niwot, which lost to Thompson Valley in the 1988-89 season. The combined 218 points is the third most all time in a game — Bear Creek and Poudre scored 242 in the 1972-73 season to top the list.

Davis made 17 field goals, all inside the 3-point line. He also was 12-of-16 at the free-throw line. Four others reached double figures for the Trailblazers. Junior Austin Conway had 16, Tre Thomas and T’Arewn WIllaims each had 11 and Reggie Gibson 10.
